Concern

Front seatbacks may not have been welded to specifications

Defect, as DVSA words it

The front seatbacks may not have been welded to specifications by the sub-supplier.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On the affected vehicles the front seat structure will be replaced.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
